In other words if you break the law in the USA in broad daylight, you'll go free only as long as breaking the law benefited or was in support of the man in power... Sounds like a very "fair" legal system /s
I guess there’s nothing we can do about it as it’s a special case. A pardon from the president is ultimately his decision, and no matter how criminal the person may be, if the president decides to grant it, they’ll be free. That’s why it’s so important to choose the right president, but I suppose the crypto community would be happy to see Ross free after all this time.
I don't think @pooya87 was referring to Ross Ulbricht when he talked about breaking laws. He might be referring to the Capitol rioters that tried to stage a coup which led to deaths and injuries. The attack on the Capitol was done in broad daylight and they deserved to be punished. Just because these convicts were supporting Trump, he is now giving out presidential pardons even when it is clear that they tried to cause anarchy. I don't blame Trump, after all, Joe Biden pardoned some family members. The law is potent when the poor, minorities or those without political connections are involved.
